7th Annual East E30 Picnic - July 15 2023

[Panici]

I'm seriously considering going to the East E30 Picnic this year.
GPS says it's a 5h40m drive from where I live up in Canada.

I figure I could comfortably make the drive in 8h if I take the time to visit some sights and enjoy the back roads.

Event details (via the Facebook group):

Saturday July 15th, 2023 @ 10AM.
H M Levitz Memorial Park
28 Park Dr, Grantville, PA 17028

I've booked the Friday off work already, I love a good road trip!
Will need your guys help planning out an interesting route, and finding a good place to stay Friday & Saturday night (mostly concerned for the car's safety).

I went for the first time last year and it was a great time. The ratio of give aways and raffles vs the amount of people there is great. It was my first e30 only meet.

16 hours for me... it isn't the worst, but I've committed to too much this year already. Hopefully next year.

I'm in North Jersey, interested in attending.

I'm in Philly, I'll do my best to make it!

Hey all, how big is the Eastern e30 picnic? I’m wondering if it’s worth the 7-8 hour trip down from Canada. Cheers!

Hope you don't mind, I merged your post into this thread.
I'm thinking of making the trip from Canada as well, if only for the experience.

My biggest concern is finding a place to stay for a few nights where the E30 will be safe!

I will be there, driving over from Philly. kyleconstantine, caravan over?

Also, the picnic is 10-5, so I was thinking about trying to camp somewhere near by. There is a couple of KOAs with cabins for $108/night and tent sites for $55/night.

Unfortunately I won't be able to make it this year. I'm gonna be in South Carolina for a family reunion. It was a great time last year though. I was trying to wear my wife down about leaving Sunday instead of Friday so I could make it but she already agreed to leave a day early for a track day at VIR on our way back to NJ the following weekend.

Just got my E30 running again - new spark plugs and O2 sensor got it running like a top. Plan to come out to the picnic unless something unexpected happens.

[McGyver]

when do the raffles happen?

I'm only going to come out for a day trip, and if its too hot, I won't bring my dog. So I might need to juggle arrival/departure times if I need to get home to let him out.

Not able to attend this year. Have fun guys!

[ZeKahr]

Me neither. My dumb rich running issue came back. Instead of being at the picnic, car will be in the shop. Have a good time those who can attend!
